摘要
Studies that use the number of individuals treated for a medical condition to investigate its prevalence understate true prevalence and obscure prevalence trends. For example, treated diabetes prevalence was less than half of true prevalence in 1999-2000. Over the ensuing twelve years, the rate of increase in treated prevalence was more than 50 percent higher than that of true prevalence. © 2015 Project HOPE-The People-to-People Health Foundation, Inc.
